9.) Pour this over the set strawberry jelly and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight until set firm.
To Serve:
Dip the moulds into a large dish of hot water, one at a time, count to 10 then lift out of the water, dip a finger in a little water and loosen the top edges of the jelly.
Invert jelly mould on to a plate or small cake stand, jerk mould to release jelly then remove mould. Repeat with other jellies then serve.
